I hired Lindsay Noel for my divorce from my ex-husband, who is in the military. She was there for me and my kids. She and Shelley, her paralegal, moved quickly when my interests needed to be protected. She was very thorough and thoughtful with every road block my ex tried to throw. We finished 5 months from the day we separated. I had a lot more to lose in comparison to what her fee was, so she was well worth it. Hire with confidence if you have kids and a difficult soon to be ex.
Lindsay and her team are wonderful. She's a really good listener and she brought things to the judge to help protect me that I never even thought of or though I would need. She was fast and efficient every step of the way. She was also excellent with answering any questions or concerns I had in a quick manner and in a language I could understand. I couldn't have gotten threw my divorce with out her and I'm extremely thankful that I had her on my side. She's VERY good at what she does and I completely trusted her and had full faith in her ability the whole step of the way.

There are no boilerplate results in family law. I approach family law cases with an open mind and learn as much about the client as possible. By allowing the client to tell his or her story, we can identify the issues unique to the case and determine the best course of action to get the client the results needed.

Ms.
I am so grateful to have been paired with Lindsay Noel as my Attorney in an ongoing Family Court issue.
Lindsay is nothing but meticulous, professional, dedicated to not only my case, but also a few personal issues along the way, showing me understanding and patience at times I needed a little extra dose of both.
She is very educated on the law, and thought of points in my case I would not even thought possible, and all with what can only be described as a satisfying experience and outcome.
I’d like to express my gratitude to her, and highly recommend her experience and professionalism for anyone seeking an Attorney.

Non-parent custody
My husband and I sought the legal expertise of Attorney, Lindsay Noel and her paralegal, Shelley Solie. Having to go through anything in the court system is understandably stressful, and what we were dealing with was beyond anything we’d ever dealt with. We knew we could no longer do it on our own with just the help of facilitators. They were fast acting, strong counsel, and extremely competent. We won our non-parent custody suit and I know it would have been an uphill climb if not for them! I absolutely recommend Lindsay and Shelley if you need help.

Father
I would reccomended Linday's services to anyone! It did not matter the time, she was always there for answers to my questions and when i needed her. She takes her cases very seriously and works very hard. I am the father of two sons, both were under the age of two during the case, and it was a rough expierence on both of them. With Lindsay and Shelley as my team, we were able to gain exactly what my sons needed, their father full time. My sons and I could not possibly be happier. Thank you so much Linday and Shelley! From all of us!

Great Lawyer!!!
I want to thank attorney Lindsay Noel and paralegal Shelley Solie at McKinley Irvin for giving me the best services in helping me and my children through a difficult time. Not only were their services outstanding and done in a professional and timely manner, Ms. Noel and Ms. Solie were compassionate and showed genuine support. They were very quick and consistent in response to any questions or concerns I had and overall greatly exceeded my expectations. I would recommend McKinley Irvin and their team Lindsay Noel and Shelley Solie one thousand times over to anyone in need of a family law attorney!

I wouldn't hire anyone else!
I can't say enough good things about my attorney, Lindsay Noel, and her associates at McKinly Irvin. I've had need of her services twice now, and both times she's come through with flying colors. She's always well prepared, knowledgeable, and doesn't let opposing counsel get away with anything. I almost felt sorry for my ex. Between Lindsay, Shelley and Nicole, I was kept well-informed and any questions I had were answered quickly and completely. I felt like I always knew what to expect in advance, and the advice was always spot-on.

Gentle Giant!
This woman is soft spoken and kind, yet fierce when it comes to the family law courtroom. Due to my particular circumstances, I truly believe I might’ve lost my children in my custody battle without her. Her services do not come cheap, but when it comes to your children she is worth every penny. I would highly, highly recommend.

Highly Recommend Lindsey
Lindsey Noel is probably the best attorney that I’ve come across. Everyone at McKinley Irvine was very helpful, Lindsey however is the attorney I worked with. She cares about her clients and she will go above and beyond to help them understand the laws that apply and their options. She was a huge help with me during my divorce and revising our parenting plan. I highly recommend her and the firm.

Custody
We recently hired Lindsay and her crew at McKinley Irvin for a messy custody case. For almost a year they stuck with us...answering emails and phone calls promptly and keeping us in the loop. They did not promise what they couldn't deliver, but they delivered. They were well worth the price.

Best Attorney I've ever had
This is a follow-up to a review I posted earlier about Lindsay and her paralegal Mallory. Since that time, my case has settled. Lindsay was incredible throughout the entire process. Her knowledge of family law is encyclopedic but what makes here stand out in my opinion is her compassion and unwavering commitment to keep her client on track, within the law and on the "high ground". She took every opportunity to help me reduce my costs instead of just doing whatever I wanted and running up fees, and carefully reviewed every document, motion, response and discovery issue I had. She kept me honest and never shirked telling me when I had gone off the reservation. In the end, we avoided a trial and negotiated a settlement that both parties could live with. During the negotiation process she was very clear about the risks inherent with a family law trial and the possibility that I could actually come out with less that what was negotiated. That advice and caution proved spot-on when our agreement was signed and the judge spoke his piece about it.
I spoke of her compassion and that more than anything impressed me. This was a blindside divorce and I went through the 5 stages of grief dealing with it. She never judged me, understood that the Big Bad Sailorman had a heart that could be broken and that he could cry. I am amazed at how she, or any other family law attorney for that matter, can deal with the raw anger and hurt that happens when two people that used to love each other tear each other apart.
I recommend her without reservation to anyone needing competent, knowledgeable, and responsiveness representation in and family matter.

Lindsay is the best for an uphill siege
My matter is ongoing, but I just have to let other potential clients know that Lindsay and Mallory are the bomb. They took me first as supervisory for my pro-se appearance and when things went south, jumped in both feet. I'm dealing with pre-nup issues and a spouse that wants to duck it. It has been a siege instead of a brawl and in that regard Lindsay is inexorable! Attention to detail, thinks outside the box and when dealing with opposing council is a master of Irish Diplomacy (telling them to go to hell in such a way they look forward to the trip). She and Mallory are also exceptionally compassionate. i was a bundle of raw emotion in a blindside divorce. They understood that can make a crusty old 34 year sea dog break down and cry. They spent as much time holding my hand, dealing with my somewhat piquant language and patting my shoulder as they have putting together a razor sharp case. It ain't over yet, but I have a truly level playing field and a better than fighting chance in getting some justice. In my world, they'd be called good shipmates, the highest compliment.

Lindsay Jean Noel - You Rock!
Lindsay was amazing throughout my case, she was supportive, and cared, and understood exactly where I needed to be, and got me there. I would recommend Lindsay to anybody that needed a brilliant Attorney. Mallory, was a gift too, both of you worked so hard, and I appreciate both of you very much, thank you.

Superb Job!
I had a very urgent need for a well qualified attorney to represent me due to being out of country when my ex filed a totally unwarranted action against me without me ever even getting notice from the court (...I found out as I passed through a foreign immigration point). I had one day to find an attorney, get a declaration written and have an attorney in court to represent me. Lindsay Noel from McKinley Irvin was up to the challenge. She worked remotely with me, prepared my response, had my ex served with the response and notice McKinley Irvin would be representing me in court - all in one day. The next day when Lindsay appeared in court, my ex had decided not to take on Lindsay and McKinley Irvin and did not appear. The action was dismissed by the court on the spot. I literally could not be happier or more satisfied with the work done for me in a very challenging situation. I highly recommend Lindsay Noel and McKinley Irvin.

Inexperienced Attorney
Lindsay's rate changed immediately after I hired her. I would not hear from her on case unless I asked about progress. I would be asked to return information she needed at the very last minute. The worst was when she signed a final decree without reading or understanding it, written up by opposing counsel at last minute, awarding my dog to my ex. Lindsay seems to have little experience and will not fight for your rights.
